Find me a place. Two minutes, mostly taps.

This asks about income, credit, and rental history so an agent can see if a place is a realistic fit. See how we handle it: Privacy Policy.

Round 1 of 6

The basics

Two minutes, mostly taps. Then we go find you a place.

Are you looking to:
When do you want keys in hand?

Round 2 of 6

Your place

Tap everything that fits. You can pick more than one where it says so.

List as many ZIP codes or neighborhoods as you like, e.g. "60601, 60611, West Loop".

How many bedrooms?
How many bathrooms, at least?
What kind of home? Pick any.
Which amenities matter to you? Pick any.

The things you would miss, e.g. the light, the layout, the walk to the train.

Usually this is why you are moving, e.g. no laundry, too small, the stairs.

Round 3 of 6

Let's talk money

Ranges are fine. We are checking fit, not writing a mortgage.

Monthly rent you are aiming for
Purchase price you are aiming for
Combined household income, before taxes

Landlords usually check that your income comfortably covers the rent.

Cash you could put down today

Move-in usually means the first month's rent plus a deposit or move-in fee.

Down payment available
Are you pre-approved for a mortgage?
Would you be interested in a cash offer for your property?

Round 4 of 6

The honest round

Nothing here disqualifies you. It just tells us which landlords to take you to. Surprises later are what kill deals.

Credit, best guess
Has an eviction ever been filed against you, even if it got dismissed?
Do you owe a past landlord money, or have you broken a lease?

If you have never rented, just write "first-time renter."

Round 5 of 6

Your crew

How many adults 18 and over will be on the lease?

Landlords usually ask every adult on the lease to apply.

How many people in total will live in the home, including you?

Many buildings have occupancy limits, so this helps us pick the right size.

Pets?

Service and assistance animals are never treated as pets. No fees, no breed or weight limits, and you do not owe us any explanation.

Will you need a guarantor or cosigner?

Round 6 of 6

Final details

Right place, right price. Could you apply the same day?

Good units can rent quickly. No wrong answer, we just plan differently.
